Video transcript

On a white field, the UnitedHealthcare U logo twists and flows so as to cover the screen. White text then appears. Upbeat music plays throughout.

ON SCREEN TEXT: Support from a dedicated team

MARK: My name is Mark Van Elden...

We cut to a man in a business suit, no tie, shot close-up in an out-of-focus office.

ON SCREEN TEXT: Mark Van Elden

President/CEO, ACEC Life/Health Trust

MARK: ...and I'm the president and CEO of the ACEC Life/Health Trust.

We cut away to see Mark's body and the office more clearly. It has an open plan, with rank upon rank of computers on austere desks. Mark continues speaking, and as he does, the camera changes position periodically.

MARK: This is not a call center. This is a team of dedicated advocates looking out for ACEC members to address any of the problems that they may have when trying to navigate a complex healthcare environment. This is an exclusive team just for ACEC members. The number on the back of their ID card is different. It is just for them.

We cut to a white field. Blue text appears on it.

ON SCREEN TEXT: Common member questions

The text rises out of frame, and icons, blue and teal, appear with text under them, from left to right: first, a couple of papers with ruling, one over the other...

ON SCREEN TEXT: Benefits

and claims

...then a hand with a heart icon on its palm...

ON SCREEN TEXT: Complex

care

...and then a head in profile, the brain indicated in blue.

ON SCREEN TEXT: Behavioral

health

The icons move away in favor of a new text card.

ON SCREEN TEXT: And more

We cut to an interview of a woman in the same office, but from down the line of desks.

ON SCREEN TEXT: Destiny

ACEC Advocate

DESTINY: When a member calls, what they can expect is that I'm going to ask questions...

We see a shot of Destiny using a computer while wearing a headset with microphone. Her narration continues over this shot.

DESTINY: ...listen, 'cause I'm here to not only just build a rapport with the member...

We see a series of shots of various people on their phones.

DESTINY: ...but we're also here to make this partnership better and also educate them on their resources that they have here with UnitedHealthcare.

We cut to another interview in the office, this time of a woman wearing a suit jacket with a UnitedHealthcare lapel pin.

ON SCREEN TEXT: Carol

ACEC Operations Manager

CAROL: I would say that it's unique in the fact that, you know, we have a lot of robust data analytics behind the scenes, and it provides our advocates with a tool called a member dashboard.

We cut to a series of stylized cartoons. A person with a headset generates a speech bubble with lines in place of text, and a different speech bubble with a chat-window-style ellipsis responds.

We then cut to an overhead shot of a desktop computer, its mouse being manipulated by a hand.

CAROL: We're going to be able to see the healthcare journey that they're on.

A jagged line with gold circles over its inflection points divides a field into teal below and blue above. As time passes and the shot pans to the right, one point turns orange, and a cursor moves over it. The orange circle radiates three gold bars.

CAROL: We're gonna be able to see...

The teal field rises under the selected point, and the point leaves the rest of the line behind. It then changes to a white bulb in front of a person's head, bearing a headset. The person inclines their head to view the bulb. Then the shot zooms past the person, and the bulb becomes a balloon moving past a teal mountain.

CAROL: ...whatever, you know, benefits we might be able to offer in addition to answering the question

We cut back to a close shot of Carol.

CAROL: ...or addressing the need at the time of the call.

We cut to a different interviewee. She also wears the pin, but on a cardigan.

ON SCREEN TEXT: Joni

ACEC Advocate

JONI: When a member calls, they can expect a human being that is going to listen to them...

We see two shots of women with headsets in an office environment.

JONI: ...resolve their issues, and then think outside the box. Because a lot of the times...

We see a shot of a woman holding an infant while speaking on the phone.

JONI: ...there are questions that the members don't know to ask...

We see an elderly man and woman hiking on a sunlit hill.

JONI: ...that I can answer.

We cut back to Joni.

JONI: I am most passionate with dealing with members and their health conditions.

We see a different shot of Joni, one that shows more of the office. She is standing in an aisleway between the rows of call center desks and an interior wall.

JONI: To me, that is the most rewarding part of this job...

We see a number of shots of people in polo shirts marked "ACEC" looking at computer monitors.

JONI: ...is when somebody is dealing with a serious health condition, that I can reach out to them through that phone and really take them under my wing...

We cut back to Joni.

JONI: ...and let them know what to expect.

We see white text on a blue field.

We cut to the interview with Destiny.

DESTINY: I love hearing our members, like, oh! Like that light bulb went off, like, oh, that makes sense now. So it really makes my day hearing them get that "oh!" effect, that "wow" effect.

We see two shots of men in ACEC shirts on headsets.

DESTINY: Like, this is what I have here.

We cut back to a shot of Destiny wearing a headset.

DESTINY: These are the resources that I have here that is so easily accessible.

We see a white field. Blue text appears.

We return to the interview with Carol, as seen through several zoom levels.

CAROL: Healthcare is overwhelming, and that's why we're here. Supporting our ACEC members is what it's all about.

We rapidly cut between multiple people as they repeat pieces of a sentence. Three of them have not been seen heretofore in the video.

WOMAN: We're dedicated...

MAN: We're dedicated...

DESTINY: We're dedicated...

WOMAN 2: To you.

DESTINY: To you.

MAN: To you.

JONI: To you.

We leave the series of interview shots for a white field bearing text.
